Other Things We Want to Know About You

Have you had any crisis in your own life in the past year, such as treatment for a mental illness, suicidal ideation, loss of someone close to you, etc? (These things won't necessarily prevent you from volunteering, but we need to know about them.)

Agora deals with all types of people and all types of issues. Are there any that you feel would be especially difficult for you to help with? Things like suicide, abortion, sexual identity, sexual preference, cultural differences, etc.

Are you hoping to volunteer to fulfill a class or community service requirement? If so, explain.

What do you think is the most important thing you will do for people in crisis if you volunteer at Agora?
